Being, Simply, Deeply

Navigating the Is-ness, in Heart, in Love.

“Peace in every step. The shining red sun is my heart. Each flower smiles with me. How green, how fresh all that grows. How cool the wind blows. Peace is every step. It turns the endless path to joy.”

Clarity does not provide answers, It dissolves questions.

(Post) meditative thoughts

Where heart leads,

simplicity follows.

There,

'pursuit of more'

'fear of bareness'

'desire for high'

'floundering in low'

lose their powers

of torment.

Pendulums come to rest.

There is a strength in gentleness

that overcomes rigidity

(although,

like water and rock,

it does not consciously seek victory).

No need to grasp at

or to augment

the reality of what Is.

Trust.

Learn to appreciate the spaces

between things.

Allow.

What manifests

won't always be pleasant.

But

waves of joy,

delight,

satiety,

inspiration,

serenity

(stillness)

will come.

Me (who?)

In the pastel skies a sunset I have wandered With my eyes and ears and heart strained to the full I know I tasted the essence in the few days Take care who you love, my precious, he might not know ~ Donovan - 'Turquoise'

Finding the right angle

[thetaooflife]

It’s not impermanence per se, or even knowing we’re going to die, that is the cause of our suffering, the Buddha taught. Rather, it’s our resistance to the fundamental uncertainty of our situation. Our discomfort arises from all of our efforts to put ground under our feet, to realize our dream of constant okayness. When we resist change, it’s called suffering. But when we can completely let go and not struggle against it, when we can embrace the groundlessness of our situation and relax into its dynamic quality, that’s called enlightenment, or awakening to our true nature, to our fundamental goodness. Another word for that is freedom — freedom from struggling against the fundamental ambiguity of being human. Pema Chödron

Hey, I was just wondering where that Jack Kerouac quote you posted is from? What book? Thank you!

Hi. Apologies - I only just spotted this (didn't receive a notification and haven't logged on to tumblr for ages). It's from a letter he wrote to his former wife (Edie), dated January 28 1957.
